Painless delivery with epidural anaesthesia is a cutting-edge alternative to normal delivery, where an anaesthetist injects a local anaesthesia through a catheter in the epidural space around the spinal cord of the lower back of the pregnant woman. The injection is provided during labor after around 5cm dilation of the cervix. Though not fully helping block all sensations, the epidural anaesthesia helps significantly lessen the active labor pain. Painless delivery in Mumbai is safe for both mother and child if it’s conducted properly and effectively monitored. Nowadays, most mothers are demanding for painless delivery. Read on to know why.   

Reasons Why Women Opt for Painless Delivery:

• To alleviate fear: Many pregnant women have an unshakeable fear of extreme labor pain. They count on painless delivery to avoid or considerably lessen the pain felt at the time of their childbirth.

• To have a positive birth experience: A relaxing/comfortable birth can result in a more satisfactory, unforgettable experience for a mother welcoming her baby into the world.

• To develop an immediate, better bond with the newborn: With painless delivery, mothers can be calmer and more comfortable, and be mentally ready to build a better relationship with their newborn post birth. The relaxation that mothers feel is even beneficial for the baby, as it helps improve oxygen supply to the baby. 

• To stay focused: Painless delivery fosters a peace of mind for mothers, making them focused at the time of child delivery, ensuring a normal childbirth due to efficient pushing. There are reduced chances of emergency C-sections.

• To have better communication with the concerned doctor: With the labor pain managed, the mother doesn’t go absent-minded and can speak with the doctor and make better decisions.

• To go through a less stressful postpartum period: When a mother is in a relaxed state of mind during the delivery of her child/children, she is most likely to have a better postpartum recovery, including a shorter hospital stay, because of a normal delivery.
